A country is alleged to have released a chemical weapon. People roll around showing clinical signs of a nerve agent in convulsions, and these are captured on shaky video. Local observers report what they see to the media and the authorities.
I wonder if there is any “direct evidence” of chemical weapons found? I wonder if the post mortem reports show any “cause of death”? I wonder if a particular chemical weapon were tested for in tissues of the deceased, whether it would be found in “small amounts”? If it were found would it be considered to be “the likely cause of death”?
This is exactly the type of denialist shit expounded by British Government agencies and propagated by the fog of the Rhodia brethren, that saw the poisoning of birds at Rattlechain lagoon by “a chemical weapon” being kicked into the sidelines. The link is pure economics, not “evidence.” When it’s on our soil protect our economic interests and deny the evidence, on someone else’s soil, present the evidence and protect our economic interests.
Of course it appears that the poor people in Syria have been posioned, yet on this occasion the burden of proof presented to parliament yesterday appeared based on the eye witness accounts. The rhetoric of politicians crying wolf, (especially the religious maniac former PM), now means that those actually being killed by WMD has become par for the course. Britain has always lied about its chemical warfare meddling. We were manufacturing “Weapons of deterence”- LIES. Tell this to those who took part in the disgraceful Porton Down experiments- or the hundreds of thousands of animals sacrificed by the heirs of Dr Mengele in white coats.
The manner in which the British Government behaved in WW2 concerning anti gas hysteria, through leaflets etc -when it knew full well that the greater threat came from incendiary bombs containing white phosphorus, shows what contempt they had for giving people the facts. “A need to know basis” has always been the mantra of this army of Oxbridge and Etonian ponces who have manipulated the populace with their lies and dossiers through the media ever since. THEY COULD NOT STOP TRYING TO MAKE EVER MORE DANGEROUS KILLERS. THEY COULD NOT STOP MESSING ABOUT WITH CHEMICALS. WE DON’T NEED TO UNDERSTAND MANMADE CHEMICALS- JUST STOP MAKING THEM! And when finished with their great inventions- bury them underwater out of sight.
When is a chemical weapon not “a chemical weapon”? When you have seen the effects of white phosphorus on animals and birds first hand and known them to be perfectly healthy, you come to the conclusion that it is a “chemical” that can be used as a “weapon”. I would like to see a few politicains swallow a few juicy chunks of P4 – and they may start to come to the conclusion that its use and manufacture should be banned around the world.
Some local joker has taken to stencilling images of David Cameron around the local waterways. Tory subliminal campaigning, or an arty farty piece of socialist artwork paid for by public money to “engage” people and study how they react to the images- by defacing the original work? Either way- here’s my contribution. Those butterflies, they just keep flying and causing chaos around the world. Brave Dave, You will tell me when those lambs at Porton Down stop screaming won’t you….
